Grandma J’s skirt

Grandma J’s skirt

I wore one of Grandma J’s skirt to church today. It is super cute wool grey pleated. And I tied a green scarf around the waist. She would have turned 97 years old on Friday, March 5, 2010. She passed away Feb 13, 2003 just before Garth and I started dating.

Organizing toys

Organizing toys

I gave Gracie a bag to fill up from the toy room. She brought the bulging bag upstairs and laid them out. These are the sort of treasures I pick up and put in the treasure box every few days. The treasure box is about the size of a tissue box.
